How to customize your booking page appearance in Dumpster Controls
The Appearance tab controls your logo, contact info, brand colors, social links, and the weekly schedule that gates which days customers can book.
Before you start
- Access to the Online Booking section
- ## Open the Appearance tab
In "Online Booking", select the "Appearance" tab. - ## Fill in Company Information
The "Company Information" card ("This appears on your Online Booking page header.") holds your logo upload, "Company Name", "Phone", "Headquarters Address" with Google address autocomplete, plus "Country", "City", "State", and "Zip Code". Logos must be PNG, JPG, or WebP under 2MB; your logo also becomes the page favicon. - ## Pick your Brand Colors
In "Brand Colors", click the colored square next to "Primary Color" or "Secondary Color" to open the palette. Click one of the ready colors, or click "More colors" to choose any color you want. If you already have a color code (like #2563eb), you can type it in the field. The booking page header, buttons, and highlights use these colors. - ## Add Social Media links
In "Social Media" ("Optional links displayed on your Online Booking page."), paste URLs for "Google Reviews", "Instagram", "Facebook", and "LinkedIn". You can also set a "Google review call-to-action" text. Icons appear in the booking page header. - ## Set your Weekly Schedule
In "Weekly Schedule" ("Select the days your company operates. Non-working days block online booking."), click each day to toggle between "Open" and "Off". The hint explains: "Click a day to toggle availability. Customers cannot book on days marked as Off." Closed days are struck through in the customer's date picker, and the quick-pick button skips to the next open day.

Troubleshooting
My logo upload fails.
The uploader accepts PNG, JPG, and WebP only, and rejects files over 2MB ("Image must be smaller than 2MB.").
Customers say every date is blocked.
Check the Weekly Schedule: if all seven days are set to "Off", the calendar fails open, but a mostly-closed week pushes the default delivery date far ahead. Mark your working days as "Open".

Frequently asked questions
Is Dumpster Controls really free?
Yes. The software is free: dispatch, online booking, the driver app, invoicing, the Tresha AI assistant and every other feature, with no monthly fee, no trial period and no credit card to sign up. The only cost on the free plan is optional card processing when a customer pays by card through the platform: 2.99% plus $3.99 per transaction on the free plan. An optional Unlimited plan at $169 per month lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30. Prices as published on dumpstercontrols.io/pricing on 2026-09-23.
Do you charge per driver, per truck or per order?
No. There is no per-driver, per-truck, per-user or per-order fee, and no order limit. A company with one truck and a company with twenty pay the same for the software: nothing.
Is there a contract?
No. There is no contract, no minimum term and no setup fee. You create the account yourself, and on the free plan there is nothing to cancel because nothing is billed. The optional Unlimited plan is billed month to month.
Which countries and languages are supported?
Dumpster Controls serves hauling companies in the United States and Canada. The app interface and the Tresha AI assistant are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The public pages, such as the blog, the help center and the landfill finder, are in English.
How do I switch from another dumpster software?
Create a free account at dumpstercontrols.io/login, with no sales call and no credit card. Then import your customers from a CSV file using the template provided in the app; past orders can also be imported from a CSV. Container sizes and pricing are set up in Settings. The landfill database, with 1,750 active US and Canadian landfills as counted on 2026-10-01, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
